Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[nicksjuzunk]

Woah went to the gym and came back to several quotes, Yes, Fulmer and Pruitt are still working on Tee and Pittman. Smart does NOT want Pittman to leave and is working dillegently on giving him a hefty raise. While, Pruitt and Fulmer are workin on getting Chaney's right hand man to come back to UT. As for Tee, I think that will happen very soon. VFL's are pushing hard for him to come back.

Dang

I went to the gym and I’m just swole and smell like wet dog and Brut

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Where is credible proof that uga raised and the amount?

It will never be said. UGA would save face before admitting being outbid

 

[Catbone]

Pittman isnt coming folks. There's absolutely no way UGA lets him get away.

 

[engineerVOL]

Former players are really loving this hire ss evidenced by the RTs in the Twitterverse.

 

[BJSforVols]

Let this remind folks that J. Brice knows squat.

Felt like so many UT writers took shots in the dark over the past month, but Brice and some of those twitter warriors made way too many to keep getting attention.

DM is really the only one who had it right the whole time. Pruitt kept this hire quiet until he was ready for it to get out.

 

[BJSforVols]

Where is credible proof that uga raised and the amount?

It was all over Twitter by legit reporters.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Makes me throw up in my mouth a little to say it, but I’d favor UF in the East.

I have to stop. The season just ended yesterday.

UGA will own the East for the next 3-5 years.

Ok, so I've got chili in the pressure cooker, so it's time to sit down for a few minutes and hash out all of my thoughts on the hire.

1. First of all, I remember when he coached the KY game, and how loose the team was, and how much fun they had. After the game, he genuinely seemed sorry to go and really seemed to like it here. How interesting, that Chaney will have worked for 3 of the last 4 Tennessee coaches.

2. Fun Offense: With all due respect to Debord's record setting offense, that final Chaney year with Bray, Hunter, and Patterson was a blast. SEC Championship caliber offense... not so much on defense.

3. We Hate Everyone: It's pretty true that fans hate their coordinators while they are still coaching at their school. Every wrong move is a reason to justify why the guy is an idiot. Chaney was not perfect. He can still tend to drop the running game a bit quick, though I imagine Pruitt will be quick to remind him of that. However, he also had poor talent at RB, and NFL talent spread across the hashes. I don't blame him for throwing it around the yard with Bray.

4. Stability wins: At a different time, and up and coming coach would have been great. However, these upward mobile guys don't do much to build the foundation of your program because they fly the coop so quick. It would not surprise me to see Chaney retire at Tennessee... provided he is up to the task. Someone like Lebby may be a 3 or a 10. That's the chance you take. With Chaney, you know what you are getting. IMO, he's a solid 7. With elite talent, that looks a lot better than a higher rated guy playing with lesser guys. Let's see where this takes us.

5. Quarterback's friend: With all due respect to Nathan Peterman, he was awful as a Vol, became a draftable player under Chaney, and was horrific as a pro. At the very least, Chaney knows how to get the most out of his QB and to hide deficiencies. Sure fooled Buffalo. JG, Shrout and Mauer are in very good hands here. The list of quarterbacks he can list off are going to boost recruiting, even if he's not a top shelf recruiter himself.

6. Give it to the play makers: If I'm Chaney, I sit down with Callaway and Jennings and pop in some tape of Rogers, Hunter and Patterson at UT. Sure... it's not either player's skill set, but it has to be exciting to see what he has done with former Vol greats. He has a knack for getting the ball to the guys that matter.

7. Drop a little lotta weight: No joking at all here. He really needs to lose some weight, because he's in a dangerous place. He had stomach reduction surgery in the past, so I wonder what in the world happened. I really hope he can get this manageable for the sake of his family.


That's more or less it. I give the hire a solid 7. Based on where we had gotten into the process (40 something days) and not making a lot of headway, plus dealing instability to a rival, it's more like a 8.5 in context.

 

[de1conley]

Not mine. It’s prolly not a big deal but @de1conley might wait until after the whole thing’s official...if at all. Hate when people do riddles on here (not AtlantaVols of course) but dude trusted me and didn’t even ask me to keep a lid on it...I just knew to do so. It’s something I saw on here before he told me tho.

Nothing special to add just had the info through my relationship with Chaney since he was here in his 1st stint. Chaney is one of the few genuine guys in the coaching industry. He was loved by many VFLs and always gave off positive energy. As @butchna can attest i was on a pine conversation and showed him my proof of where my knowledge came from which was Chaney himself as well as my business partner Buck Fitzgerald. Another victory for the good guys and there are more to come.


Side note: Chaney daughter and her love for equestrian life and being in vet school for playing a big part in his coming back too. They have horses in E. TN and she never wanted to leave but Botch Dummy Jones left him no choice.Go Vols

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

I don't think Fulmer talks to Hyams like he did 25 yrs ago, I may be wrong. I just know Pruitt doesn't have that person in the press he chats with.

I think a lot of this dried up with the passing of Bobby Denton.

 

[supersmo18]

So do we like this Chaney hire if no Pittman?

You must be new here.

Thanks.
This one really has my curiosity and that's something I'm not used too. It's not a fun feeling haha. If you ever can share a detailed account or okay Butchna too, it would be appreciated.

 

[Brillovol]

My BIL tonight: why are you happy? aren’t you afraid Georgia will hire someone even better?

You’re BIL is @Catbone ?

 

[JohnD13]

Pittman is not coming

But to be fair, you said the Chaney thing was dead as well.

 

[drvenner]

This guy now seems to have a little more ecred.

Pay the man

 

[Kingston Vol]

Pittman is not coming. Pruitt prefers Friend.

Tee is where our focus should be now.

 

[Kingston Vol]

DM is really the only one who had it right the whole time. Pruitt kept this hire quiet until he was ready for it to get out.

That’s not true at all. Matthews had nothing right.

 

[drvenner]

If we get Pittman too I will literally **** my pants.

Uh, on purpose?

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Pittman isnt coming folks. There's absolutely no way UGA lets him get away.

 

[drvenner]

Have you read the books? Martin is the most frustratingly slow author in history.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

That’s not true at all. Matthews had nothing right.

Folks are killing me with this. He made a statement that could not be proven false, though all the evidence points to this being a recent development while we pursued several other options.

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

95% accurate statement!!!

 

[JCP201]

I think he was talking about Yucich. Interesting that deConley did say we had Chaney on Sunday and everyone just ignored it. (He actually knows the guy, apparently--I had no idea)

 

[csprig9]

Tennessee just hires an oc that’s been to back to back sec championship and the playoffs and people are still bitching bc Pittman didn’t come.....
Unbelievable

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Question on Chaney....

Isn’t there a lot of criticism of how under used their TE, Mecole Hardman, and that 5 Star transfer from Cal was?

Fair or nah?
